Variable pressure = something more to go wrong, waste fuel, and weigh more.
True but... I'd rather have variable tire pressure than A/C or Bluetooth, or an automatic, or an ICE, or 8 way electric adjust seats, or cruise control...

OK, I thought about it for longer than an nanosecond... it's a silly idea. Need lower pressure, Get out and let some air out.
